Full collections across acetate, combination, and titanium — from first sketch to continuous production. Brands come to CIC for depth of technique, fast sample turnaround, and a six-person design studio that has been building frames for two decades.
Cellulose acetate sheets from Eleung and Mazzucchelli — and the Chinese houses Huayi, Jinyu and Jimei — laminated, CNC milled, and hand polished. The base of CIC's collection across optical and sun, in any colour you can describe.
Acetate fronts paired with stainless or beta-titanium temples — built and joined in-house, no subcontract. The combination programme runs on its own line, for partners who want acetate character with metal precision.
Beta-titanium stock from OBE, Comotec, and HQ — formed, joined and finished on the same floor as everything else. For collections that need the lightest hand and the cleanest surface.
Push-Thru multi-layer pressing, stone-inlay lamination, metal-inlay lamination, and the sculptural wrapped end-piece. Four techniques CIC has patented over twenty years — available for collections that should look like nothing else on the shelf.
